    Anything out of the door
  1. @pka Thank you for your comprehensive reply! I read the articles linked... At least we are not alone in the corruption scheme. It's kinda comforting to see other countries and foreign investors break every single law or not keeping any environmental guidelines. I mean we all blame the Greeks for their attitude while other nations, even the so called "developed" ones are probably worse in some cases. It's true though that any kind of development, specially when landscape is involved cannot really be "green". It sure can come close to a green solution, but it is and always will be an intrusion to nature (even when some time it serves our needs and makes our life easier)
  2. I heard some stories yesterday about the past as well as the future of winter tourism in Greece. It would be great if someone with knowledge on these matters could confirm their credibility. 1- Austrian investors have come in the past (around 1980) with intentions to heavily invest on Parnassos. After assessing the mountain volume of our country, their intentions were to create the biggest ski resorts in the Balkans The people in charge denied cooperation. Then they went to 3-5, Vasilitsa and kaimaktslan where they received the same negative reply. Then the Austrians went to Bulgaria and did business there. True or false? 2- There are rumors that winter tourism in Greece is due for a major boost in the next decade with foreign investors taking things to next level in quite a few of our unexploited ski spots. True or false? Looking forward to see some light shed on these and also other relevant issues that change the snow market of Greece. Thank you in advance!
  3. @Chris For example To see the impact our diverse landscape has to European skiers (even pro ones)!
  4. Mainly winter/snow tourism I guess. Maybe "exchange" was not the right word... What I mean is some international exposure of our winter tourism options, which are more than enough -and quite unique- actually for our size and climate! In the end of the day there are not many places in the world where you can ski during the day and then have a dinner by the sea with just a light jumper on! A Greek ski forum with international friends sounds radical enough to yield hits even out of curiosity !
  5. That would be interesting and it would probably open some international communication/collaboration, as well as exchange programs and stuff but who is willing to moderate it?
  6. Hi Olga, it sounds great! Some more info on the level of difficulty please. Does it require previous experience in backcountry? Can a person of average fitness pull it off? Thank you
  7. thank you Chris! i heard about you last night... (all good of course...)
  8. Hi No doubt thank you for your reply! where do u usually ski?
  9. thank you for your reply MIK so it is a contract agreement based on a budgetary decision. On the web page though they give a green light to Odyseas/Tilemachos/Vakchos. Also i could not find a clear statement about which lifts are on service on weekdays. This should be like on the home page or 1 click away so people don't get disappointed or be constantly asking about the limited lift service.
  10. weekends vs weekdays in Parnassos - kellaria. On Friday i asked to see the person responsible for the lift operation. They told me that the information desk in 1950 due to understaff issues now only opens on weekends. I just had one question -"why on a perfect weather day there are 3 lifts that are not in service?" (Tilemahos, Vackhos, Odyseas). After some time and people i was referred to, i got the following answers. - there is not enough staff - avoiding the issue - never giving me a straight answer - referring me to someone else - this is the contract. Weekends 30euros all the lifts, weekdays 15 euros half the lifts could someone please cast some light on this, i bet there many people who ski on weekdays wondering why on earth 2 of the best (if not the best) tracks of the mountain do have their lifts in service... thank you
  11. @olga Thank u, nice to be here! I was wondering, how can I see recent posts first in a thread? I mean the timeline of the posts to display the most recent one in page 1 and then go back in time as move on to the following pages. I visit a thread where the first post might be like 5 years old and I got to flip to the last page to see the recent ones. Is this a setting I got to adjust from smwhere? Thank u.
  12. @madskier Thank u, I will have a look at that thread.
  13. yep i can read Greek just fine, its my mother tongue! I just cannot write well. thank you for your recommendations madskier
  14. Hi MIK, Thank you for your reply. will be at parnassos this THU. Gimme a shout if you see a brown Giro helmet with a Hero shoe. Heard about Pisoderi, they say it great for back country. Need to make time for this at some point...
